After going up and down the mountain, they pulled each other, leaving behind a series of deep footprints.
The light from the snow was very stimulating. Everyone was wearing goggles to prevent their eyes from being stabbed by the light. They were wearing camouflage clothes that blended with the snow. Even their windproof caps had a white camouflage hood.
One hour passed. It was five o’clock. They were still two kilometers away from their campsite. They walked nine kilometers in an hour. Their speed wasn’t very fast, but it wasn’t slow either.
The snow was too deep. They went up and down the mountain along the way.
There was no flat road. Sometimes, they had to scout the way themselves. Ye Jian felt that their results were not bad after walking for nine kilometers in an hour with 20 kilograms of weight.
Ye Jian didn’t continue moving forward. Instead, she stood at the same spot and waited for the male soldiers to arrive. From one o’clock to five o’clock, they didn’t even have five minutes of rest. They kept moving forward, working hard for their goal.
Although they didn’t achieve their goal, they didn’t have any regrets.
“Give me the backpack.” Ye Jian, who was standing on top, tied her waist with a rope. The other end of the rope was tied to a tree. She leaned down and used the strength of her waist to stabilize her body. She freed her hands to receive her comrades.
Ye Jian took the backpack and lifted it up forcefully. Then, she placed the backpack firmly in the snow. The comrades who weren’t carrying any weight climbed up the slope with their hands. They cooperated with Ye Jian and pulled their comrades down one by one.
The mountains were steep. The route they took was the 180-kilometer cross-country route that the veterans used in winter. The entire route was steep. Although the mountain they were on now was not high, it was as if it had been slashed by a knife. It was straight and steep. Fortunately, they did not need to go up the mountain. They just had to walk along the side of the mountain. If they went up the mountain, they would have to slide down ten steps after taking three steps.
Even though they were walking along the mountainside, it was extremely strenuous. If they were not careful with their footsteps, they might roll down the mountain.
“Azure Bird, rest for a while. We’ll do it.’
After pulling up five male soldiers, they stopped Ye Jian from working so hard and persuaded Ye Jian to rest. It was their turn to do the hard work.
Ye Jian, who had her waist tied up, didn’t insist. Her back was sore and tired. Then, five people came up to take over. This way, everyone could rest. “Take turns to pull them up. The ones at the front will rest. The ones at the back will help the comrades who need to come up.” Ye Jian untied the rope around her waist and instructed. The temperature was -10 degrees Celsius. But she was so hot that her body was sweating.
The male soldiers didn’t dally after hearing Ye Jian’s instructions and immediately carried them out. In less than 20 minutes, they finally got everyone up.
They were already very close to the camp. Their comrades, who had all climbed up, sat in the snow and looked at each other. They couldn’t help but laugh.
Ye Jian sat in the middle. When she smiled, her eyes curved like the crescent moon. Her dark eyes were sparkling. Unknowingly, she became the focus of the male soldiers.
Seeing her smile, the smiles in the male soldiers’ eyes deepened. From 1:00 pm to 5:30 pm, they had already closed the distance between them significantly. Although there was still a way to go, there was already a hint of friendship.
The sun set. At the end of the mountain, the setting sun was endless. It shone on the edge of the clouds and dyed them with a thin layer of gold. It also shone on the snow like gold powder. After a short five minutes of rest, Ye Jian stood up and waved her hand. Smiling, she said, “Let’s go. Let’s go.. Let’s go down the mountain and have a good rest!”
